The problem with cheap noise-cancelling headphones is that the majority don’t really work as effectively as they should. The Sony WH-1000XM5, however, have excellent ANC – and now thanks to this deal, you too can own them for less.
Through Sony Direct’s certified refurbished program, you can nab these five-star cans for £159.99 (doon from £229) today, helping you to a saving of £70 on a top spec pair of headphones.

Eight microphones across both earcups feed the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1 and Integrated Processor V1, a dual-chip arrangement that reads and suppresses ambient sound continuously rather than applying a fixed filter and hoping for the best.
The Auto NC Optimizer adjusts noise cancellation in real time based on wearing conditions and atmospheric pressure, so the performance you get on the tube is recalibrated automatically when you step off and walk through a busy street.
Sound quality is handled by 30mm carbon fibre composite drivers, a material chosen for its combination of lightness and rigidity, which translates to cleaner high-frequency response and more natural reproduction across the full frequency range of 4Hz to 40,000Hz.
LDAC support transmits roughly three times the data of standard Bluetooth audio, which matters when the source material is high-resolution and the difference between a compressed stream and the full file is audible to anyone paying attention.
Adaptive Sound Control learns the locations you visit regularly and adjusts ambient sound settings to match, so the WH-1000XM5 behaves differently at a desk than it does on a commute without requiring any manual input from the wearer.
Battery life reaches 30 hours on a full charge, and three minutes of charging delivers three hours of playback for the moments when the headphones run low before a journey rather than after it.
Honestly, the WH-1000XM5 are some of the best noise cancelling headphones you can buy. And with new earpads, a fresh battery, and professional cleaning – it’s a no brainer.
